For over 20 years, Tony Jordan has been top of his game as one of the UK’s most successful screenwriters. But in 2005, he was ready for a new challenge, which came in the form of his own production company - Red Planet Pictures. Established that year, with the backing of KUDOS, Red Planet Pictures was commissioned by the BBC to make HOLBY BLUE, a police drama set in the same fictitious town as its siblings, CASUALTY and HOLBY CITY. HOLBY BLUE then went on to be re-commissioned for an extended second series.

Red Planet Pictures is dedicated to the nurturing of new writers and in 2007 launched the RED PLANET WRITING PRIZE.

As a result, two writers from the competition have now launched their professional careers and are in script development with the BBC.

With offices in Bedfordshire and Cardiff, Red Planet Pictures manages a diverse development slate, from children’s animation to high-impact primetime drama. Dedicated to new, exciting and innovative ideas, Team Red Planet nurture, guide and support. The result? Intelligent, dynamic and high quality shows; must-see-tv!
